If you’re convinced that you’ll experience joy only when your circumstances become more comfortable, stop lying to yourself. True joy isn’t found in the momentary pleasures of this world; it is found through Jesus. And even though you haven’t seen Him yet, you can see what He’s doing. If you can learn to love Him more than you love the decomposing treasures of this world, He will help you see things in a brand-new way, and He will teach you to truly rejoice as your heart becomes fully convinced that He is working all things for His glory and your good.
“Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”
1 Peter 1:8-9
